Immerse yourself in the enchantingly wild, and unspoiled forests of Javorniki hills.
The immense back of the Javorniki hills rises over intermittent Lake Cerknica and shapes the character of the Notranjska region landscape and its people since the old days. The magical beech and fir forest of the Javorniki hills remains wild and mysterious. It provides home to bear, wolf and lynx, whereas man is a welcome guest.
With an experienced local guide, Ivan Najger, you will set out from the Dolenja vas village through the forests of Javornik hills, which offer an immense source of interesting flora and fauna. The Javorniki hills are located in karst area and therefore interspersed with thousands of caves. You will go on a hike through the forest, where the guide will show and explain how to walk through the forest and enjoy its grandeur. You will observe the growth, the structure of the soil and you will also look into some karst cave. With this event, we want to bring people closer to the magic of nature, which is part of us and our culture, and especially the magic of the underground.
At the end of the walk, a well-deserved lunch will be waiting for you, prepared by the Etno-eko association.
